Herring Hall Marvin Safe Company

Herring Hall Marvin is an AWE facility for 1943-1993 and
a DOE facility for 1995. Workers during the AWE years
are eligible for Part B claims and workers during the DOE
year are eligible for both Part B and Part E claims.

Intermittently from the 1943 to 1951,
the Herring-Hall-Marvin Safe Company machined natural
uranium metal slugs from rolled stock under subcontract to
DuPont and the University of Chicago.

During the period of residual
contamination, as designated by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health and as noted in the dates
above, employees of subsequent owners and operators of this
facility are also covered under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act.

The former Herring-Hall-Marvin Safe Company, now owned by
the Diebold Company was located at 1550 Grand Boulevard in
Hamilton, Ohio. During the 1940's this company machined
uranium slugs under subcontract with a prime Department of
Energy contractor. The uranium slugs were machined from
uranium billets. In August 1988 and April 1989, radiological
surveys were conducted and very little uranium was found and
removed. The building was dismissed from any additional DOE
restrictions. During the spring of 1993 public attention was
drawn to this facility by former workers who stated that the
earlier surveys did not include the portion of the third
floor where actual machining work was conducted.
